2014 Bahrain GP
I’m pretty sure everyone else will have the description of this race down-pat too, but can’t be beaten for providing a battle between the best of the best at the front for such a sustained time.
The battles Senna and Prost had never went for such a long time at such a close proximity.

1997 European GP
3 cars with the same pole lap time, older style battle of raw pace and controversy, with a nice finnish.

1996 Spanish GP
I loved watching Schuey drive through everyone in the rain… Made everyone look like rookies

honorable mentions to 2012 Brazilian GP and 2008 Brazilian GP’s
They’re pretty damn close in terms of the drama they provided, but I never find myself watching them again.

I think it’d still provide a stable yet slippery run off for the sensitive cars, and not risk any catapulting of cars as they hit the tarmac run-off if the grass/dirt recedes from other cars going off…

I went to the Melbourne GP this year and had no issues at all with the noise.

The only thing I really missed was the sound at the start. I was seated at T1 and in past years, you’ve been able to hear the cars coming, building up the atmosphere to when they all appear in a flurry of noise, colour and possibly crashes. This year though, There was no real sound to get the hair on the back on your neck to stand up as they approached.

Beyond that, I really like the sound. No massive noise means you hear so many other noises from the car. I love the mechanical sound of the turbo you hear, and it’s the first time since the late 90’s that I’ve actually heard a lock-up! I could tell the engines apart better and it was better for the family sitting next to me, as their kid wasn’t screaming from the noise :)

I like them, beyond the noise, the cars move around a whole lot more, which makes them a whole lot more enjoyable to watch.

On race day, you have to find your spot early there.. it’s best to be closer to T2 on the mound so you can see a bit of T1 also. There’s a screen directly opposite that place too, so great spot to watch the race from.
